Notes: Japanese Psychedelic Troubador Suzuki Junzo's 3rd solo Album from Utech records called 'Portrait of madeleine Elster' coming up in december. This is 21st century drone/spacey electric-blues album in the style of 2012's, His last release from Utech,gOde to a Blue ghosth andhEight-Sided Infinity", his crystaline guitar passage soaked on reverb is more focused on distorted sadness. 4 track, joined by Ikuro Takahashi, LSD March, Kousokuya and ex-drummer of Fushitsusha, High Rise.

When receiving Junzo's other album release, 'Sings II' , I olluded to this album being the darker, guitar noise release, whilst perhaps aq
slight oversimplification. 'Sings II' is all about the song whereas this is all about the guitar.
Whilst the first track 'When Grey Skies turn to blood red' follows on form his solo album last year. with its wild guitar worlls of sound complimented by Takahashi Ikuro's Wild rolling drums, but thereis more to the album than that.
Tha title track sees Junzo playing undistorted and melancholic, exploring silence and feeling in a similar vein to the likes of Tom carter and Marcio Bassett. The result is spellbinding and you wish it would never end.
The Twin themes underspin the album. lifting the listener to a strange, sonic nirvana. when he lets go like this, Junzo suspends time and space.
